You have lost or forgotten the password for the router, access point or other network device

You left the default password or used a weak password and someone has hijacked your network

Depending on the router, you can either view or reset the wireless network password (also referred to as the passphrase or security key) if
you can log into the router. Some routers mask the wireless network
password, so while you cannot recover it, you can enter and save a new
password.

If you cannot log into your router because you have
forgotten the router password or your network has been hijacked, please
refer to "Lost or forgotten password for router or other device" below.

To view or reset a wireless network password:

Log in to your NETGEAR router by browsing to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. Enter the username (admin) and password. By default, the password is password or 1234 unless it has already been changed.

From the left-hand navigation menu of the Router Manager, select Set Up > Wireless Settings.

From the center screen, select your encryption type from under the Security Options heading.

If the wireless network passphrase is visible, review it and use it to log devices onto your network.

If it is not visible, you can change your wireless passphrase;
however, changing the passphrase will cause you to lose your wireless
connection. Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable
before entering a new passphrase into the text box and clicking Apply.

If you cannot log into your router:

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or
forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to
reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset
to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and
password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to
reconfigure your router settings.

NOTE: Restoring factory defaults
on a device will erase any customizations you have made. You will lose
any configurations saved to the device!
